Simple Plan returned to Finland

AUTHOR: Dominika | 29. May 2016 | no comments

It’s been over 4 years since the last time Simple Plan performed in Finland, but finally yesterday, on Saturday, May 28th, the band has returned to Helsinki, where they put on a massive show. For the first time on this part of the tour, the band was supported by two new opening acts: Madcraft and Blind Channel.

Simple Plan once again didn’t make any big alterations to their setlist when compared to the one in Sweden – the only song that changed was ‘Kiss Me Like Nobody’s Watching’ instead of ‘I Refuse’, however the band did perform ‘The Rest Of Us’ at soundcheck.

In the past, the Gröna Lund amusement park, located in Stockholm, Sweden, has hosted a number of internationally renowned artists including The Beatles and Bob Marley. Yesterday, another name will be added to the list of former performers – and that is Simple Plan. The band performed a free concert at the theme park last night for thousands of spectators and from the reactions online, you could just tell it was a blast.

Regarding the setlist, the boys didn’t come up with many surprises – amongst the ever-interchanging songs were ‘I Refuse’, ‘Take My Hand’, ‘Farewell’ and also ‘Perfect World’ was re-added to the list instead of ‘Me Against The World’, which the band performed in Norway.

Story Untold (ex-Amasic) release song ‘History’, co-written by Pierre and Chuck

AUTHOR: Dominika | 26. May 2016 | 2 comments

After the departure of Matt McCormack, the Canadian band Amasic, has decided to start anew – with new band members and also a new name – Story Untold. If you’ve been following Simple Plan for a while now, you have heard about Amasic many times in the past, as the band’s lead singer Janick Thibault had previously covered a number of Simple Plan songs, became friends with the band, opening for them on a number of occasions, which Janick followed up with song-writing with Pierre and Chuck and even replacing Pierre at the recent show in Canada, which Pierre was not able to attend, due to a health issue.

As SimplePlan.cz has discussed with Janick in our 2014 interview with the lead singer, Janick co-wrote two songs with Pierre and Chuck from Simple Plan – ‘If I Had One Dollar’ and also the song ‘History’, which has never been released before, during the Amasic era. Story Untold, who just announced singing with Hopless Records, have recently released a self-titled EP, which features both of the songs co-written by the members of Simple Plan. ‘History’ even became the band’s first single and an accompanying music video has already been released.

Check out ‘History’, which Chuck and Pierre helped to write, below:
